Massage your jaw muscles(inside and outside of your mouth), your jaw is probably tight on one side and is pulling the disc out of alignment when you open and close your jaw. Don't do it on purpose for kicks, either -- it can start a chronic pain condition called jaw clenching or teeth grinding that is difficult and sometimes expensive to fix.

What movement causes your mouth to open?

The movement that causes your mouth to open is primarily the contraction of the digastric and mylohyoid muscles, which are located in the jaw area.

This coordinated action allows for functions such as speaking, eating, and breathing.
